Samina Zaidi's Online Review Report Card

I would wait for over 3 hours at times in her waiting room, then she NEVER listened to me when I tried to tell her how I felt about my treatment plan!! at one point she told my mom she wanted to put me in the state hospital,mom my told her she was crazy and we never went back!!

I miss Dr. Zaidi now that she retired. She was a straight shooter, answered questions and explained all that I asked.

Fact: 1. A Chaotic disorganized office incompitant, immature staff, poor communication, lack of medical knowledge and no nurse on staff. 2. I know 3 people that saw Dr. Zaidi and all 3 patients left her with great disregard for her lack of care. And high prescription writing of too many meds too fast. Resulting in physical & psychological problems that affected their livelihood. 3.These sights are a ping pong of reviews but take heed. The Dr wants those stars to be up there. A way to tell is by the extreme opposition in reviews. Example: My rating is merely facts to help others avoid a dangerous experience with their health because I care. My family member is proof of that after lost work time and hospitalization from lack of appropriate care. We are going on 6 months now of trying to heal from a very bad experience. The extremely high ratings are just to balance out the negative facts. There are plenty of good Dr's to treat you (us) as human beings. I strongly suggest for your own health and well-being to do so...

I waited three hours each time I went and it's a super uncomfortable atmosphere. It's a small room with a bunch of anxiety-ridden people which of course makes everyone even more anxious. Seeing Dr. Zaidi was a complete waste e of time. I feel like she didn't know me as a person and I didn't feel valued as a patient. I left having no understanding of the medicine she prescribed me or what she even diagnosed me with.

I'm surprised that there are any positive reviews of Samina Zaidi. She's rude, spends as little as 5 minutes with me, called me lazy and immature, and never listened to me. I strongly suspect she asks her patients, staff, family and friends to give fraudulently positive reviews. I always felt worse after seeing her. She follows up after visits because she wants money, not because she cares. She's got awful bedside manner. I feel bad for anyone who believes she's caring and treating them nicely.

She knows I struggle with depression and keeps giving me meds but refuses to give me therapy and her therapists don't want to talk about your depression they want to talk about whatever you were scheduled to come in for

I think Dr. Zadies has been doing this line of work for too long and can be mean. The first time I had a appointment with her, I burst into tears in my car. She made me feel like I was the scum of the earth and corrected the way I said a few words. I have had speech problems my whole life and when she corrected me, it was like the mean girl in high school teasing me all over again. I do not understand why she felt the need to point out that I was pronoucing it wrong. I may not be a Doctor or be the smartest person but I do know when someone is being mean. I decided to stick it out considering I waited three months and did not have many other options, she started to be nicer and I thought maybe she was not so bad. Well after my last appointment of waiting a hour and she called someone in ahead of me that showed up forty-five min after me, only to be yelled at, I decided that no meds were worth my dignity. Maybe it was my skin color, or the illness I had, one thing was clear though, she did not respect me and no matter how much respect I showed her, the more she disrespected me. I liked Tom though and feel sorry he has to work for her, hopefully she treats her employers better. Also I will not miss having to wait 45-60 min each time I have a appointment with her. If you are a senitive person, I would not suggest going to her or if you hate waiting. Also if you are reading this Dr Zadies, I'm sorry but you can be nasty and for the first time in my life, I have felt so hurt from someone I reached out for help, that I had to write this. You say hurtful things that only make me feel worse after seeing you and the fact I had wait an hour to see you, only to get talked downed to, is very hurtful. Plus I have seen you for quite some time and I'm not writing this after one bad visit, there have been many. I would never want to give a review on one visit because even Doctors are allowed to have bad days but after searching the wed and reading other reviews, I realize that I am not the only one who feels this way.

Dr Zaidi is an excellent doctor and she worked with me through my anxiety problems and helped me get my life back. She is a very smart, educated lady and better than any other doctor I have been to.

Dr Zaidi has been my Dr for many years and I personally was a radiation therapist. I have found no better than Dr Samina Zaidi MD. There good ones and as good ones, but no better. She knows when she needs to be harsh and like the wonderful lady that is Dr Zaidi, knows when to be sympathetic.

Dr. Zaidi takes the time to talk with you and diagnose your needs. She is an excellent listener and doesn't rush you. She considers your input regarding medication, side effects, cost, etc. She is willing to try uncongenial medications and higher than normal doses to treat your condition. It was Dr. Zaidi and the nurse pract. Joanne Vaccani that realized that I had ADHD and not bipolar mania. They also diagnosed my OCD. I am a recovering addict and Dr. Zaidi was willing to prescribe Klonopin and Adderall to treat my conditions, so long as I am willing to take random drug tests. There is never a long wait for your appointment, it is a small practice and I have been able to get in the same or next day if I am really not feeling well. I have no issues getting medication refills and the practice automatically sends your scripts to your preferred pharmacy or mail order pharmacy. my only criticisms is that their insurance billing is slow so you never really know how much you owe, and that they are out for lunch from 12p to 2p and closed on Wednesdays. There are numerous counselors that work in the practice and Saturday/Evening hours are available. AWESOME DOC, AWESOME STAFF!
